attire and accessories

(All photos were taken by our awesome photographer: Roya Jade Photography)

For the Bride:

 Alix and Kelly dress bought on clearance and off the rack from Bella Bridesmaid in Baltimore, MD.

Beaded trim bought from M&J Trimming in NYC, turned into a belt by Young's Dressmaker in Charlotte, NC.

Beaded sandals (flat, of course) from Nine West.

Earrings made by a jeweler in Chicago from my Grandma's diamonds, to look like my engagement ring.

Diamond necklace, gift from my parents, also custom made to look like my earrings and engagement ring.

Kind of hard to tell, but my mom and I both are wearing sparkly head bands. I first bought the one my Mom is wearing on Etsy. I thought it was too thick for me, but perfect for her. So instead I bought some smaller rhinestone chain and made the one I'm wearing on my own.

For the Groom:

The hubs wore a simple black sport cut suit and skinny black tie.

His gifts to his groomsmen were the Vans he custom designed and also matching skinny ties for them all to wear. A couple of his guys surprised the group with neon argyle socks from Express.

Poe bought this Neff Watch well in advance of the wedding to wear specially for the big day.

Unbeknownst to him, a couple of the guys ended up buying the very same watch for him too, and all of the groomsmen to also wear!

And last, but not least, the rings!
